'ITH  PLEASURE,  we  present  to  the  public  this  our  revised  Special 
Catalogue  No.  15-C;,  devoted  principally  to  Iron  and  Steel  Cells  and 


Cages,  Doors,  Window  Guards,  Etc.,  for  Station  Houses  and  City 
Lock-ups.  We  construct  our  work  of  uniform  strength  throughout, 
and  give  special  attention  to  hinging  and  locking  Cell  Doors,  and  we  call 
particular  attention  to  our  Steel  Angle  Locking  Bar,  which  locks  cell  doors 
from  top  to  bottom  on  front  edge  of  door,  and  which,  with  back  lugs  on  doors, 
makes  the  doors  to  lock-up  cells  as  strong  as  any  other  part  of  the  cell. 

Years  of  practical  experience,  Special  Machinery,  Patented  Improvements, 
and  Skilled  Workmen  have  placed  us  in  the  front  rank  as  Jail  and  Prison 
Builders,  and  the  marvelous  growth  of  our  business  is  a  flattering  acknowledge¬ 
ment  that  our  work  is  satisfactory,  prices  right,  and  dealings  fair. 

We  solicit  contracts  from  all  parts  of  the  world.  Write  for  prices,  stating 

your  wants.  ^  „ 

Respectfully, 


THE  STEWART  JAIL  WORKS  COMPANY 


IMPORTANT  NOTICE: 


Officials,  Committees  or  Architects  who  contemplate  purchasing  cells  or  cages  for  Station  Houses,  City 
Lock-ups,  County,  City  or  State  Jails  or  Prisons,  will  please  correspond  with  us,  giving  number  of  cells  desired, 
or  size  of  cell  room  and  number  of  prisoners  to  be  provided  for. 

The  standard  sizes  of  our  Station  House  and  Lock-up  Cells  are  as  follows : 

For  Two  Prisoners — 4  feet  6  inches  wide,  6  feet  6  inches  long  and  6  feet  6  inches  high. 

For  Four  Prisoners — 6  feet  6  inches  wide,  6  feet  6  inches  long  and  6  feet  6  inches  high;  but  we  construct 
cells  any  size  desired. 

Usually  we  construct  the  fronts,  rear  and  sides  of  cells  of  open-work,  either  grated  or  lattice,  and  the  top 
and  bottom  of  solid  plate-work,  and  partitions  between  cells,  where  two  or  more  cells  are  joined  together,  of  solid 
plate-work.  The  top  of  cells  can  also  be  made  of  open-work,  grated  or  lattice,  or  the  fronts,  sides  or  rear  of  cells 
of  plate-work,  if  desired,  or  the  steel  floors  can  be  omitted  and  cells  made  to  set  on  cement  or  wood  floors. 

Cells  for  two  prisoners  are  provided  with  two  steel  folding  bunks,  and  for  four  prisoners  with  four  folding 
steel  bunks.  One  bunk  is  placed  above  the  other,  as  shown  on  subsequent  pages  of  this  Catalogue,  and  each  cell 
is  provided  with  one  of  our  “Patent,”  Odorless,  Air-tight  Night  Buckets. 

We  rivet  our  cells  together  in  large  sections  and  the  sections  are  set  up  at  our  works,  carefully  fitted,  painted 
and  plainly  marked,  then  taken  down  and  shipped  in  sections,  together  with  necessary  rivets  for  erecting,  and 
with  the  aid  of  our  marked  diagram  and  instructions  sent  with  each  shipment,  any  ordinary  mechanic  or  black¬ 
smith  can  set  the  work  up  and  rivet  same  together  at  a  small  expense. 

If  interested  in  County  Jail  or  Penitentiary  work,  please  read  page  18  of  this  Catalogue. 

Respectfully, 


The  Stewart  Jail  Works  Company.

completed  by  us,  and  page  27,  partial  list  of  places  where  our  work  is  installed. 

Years  of  practical  experience  in  modern  jail  and  prison  construction,  humane  and  sanitary  arrangements,  security  against  escapes, 
work  constructed  of  uniform  strength  throughout,  together  with  our  large  works  fully  equipped  for  this  particular  business,  has  placed 
us  in  the  front  rank  as  jail  and  prison  experts  and  builders. 

Our  Patent  Jail  Construction,  Tool-Proof  Materials,  Locks,  Locking  Devices,  Locking  and  Operating  Devices  for  both  sliding  and 
swinging  jail  and  prison  doors,  and  other  modern  improvements  are  absolutely  the  best,  and  a  visit  to  our  works,  or  any  of  the  work  that 
we  have  executed  in  late  years  will  convince  anyone  that  we  are  fully  justified  in  the  broad  claim  we  make. 

With  our  able  designers  of  modern  jails,  prisons  and  penitentiaries,  we  furnish  complete  plans,  specifications  and  details,  but  prefer 
to  assist  architects  in  preparing  plans,  specifications  and  details,  giving  them  expert  information  and  the  benefit  of  our  long  experience,  and 
we  recommend  that  a  competent  architect  be  employed,  as  it  places  all  competition  on  an  equal  basis. 

We  contract  anywhere  in  the  world,  and  invite  those  contemplating  building  modern  jails,  prisons  and  penitentiaries  to  correspond 
with  us.  Expert  ideas,  information,  sketches  and  estimates  cheerfully  given,  and,  when  required,  can  arrange  to  go  anywhere  for  this 
purpose. 

Can  also  arrange  to  have  a  representative  present  at  lettings  to  demonstrate  our  work  and  improvements  with  drawings,  models, 
samples,  etc. 

If  interested,  and  if  County  Jail,  Prison  or  Penitentiary  work  is  contemplated,  send  for  our  large  Jail  and  Prison  Catalogue  No.  16-J,

This  cut  was  made  from  a  photo¬ 
graph  taken  of  the  Steel  Cells  in 
one  of  the  two  wings  of  the  Onon¬ 
daga,  N.  Y.,  Penitentiary,  near  Syr¬ 
acuse,  and  the  printed  report  of  the 
New  York  State  Board  of  Prison 
Commissioners  mentions  this  prison 
as  being  the  best  and  most  modern 
in  the  State  of  New  York. 

This  block  of  cells,  as  shown,  is 
42  feet  high  and  144  feet  long,  and 
contains  five  tiers  of  double  row 
Steel  Cells,  there  being  44  cells  in 
each  tier,  and  22  cells  in  each  row. 

The  other  wing  is  similar  to  the 
one  shown. 


We  completed  these  cells  during 
the  year  of  1900,  and  equipped  same 
with  our  Patented  Locking  and 
Operating  Device  and  Sliding 
Doors,  whereby  any  door  or  any 
number  of  doors,  or  all  the  doors  in 
one  row  (22  doors)  can  be  unlocked,

authorities  as  being  one  of  the  fin¬ 
est  and  most  modern  prisons  in  the 
world.  There  are  19  cells  in  each 
row,  with  prisoners’  walk  in  front 
of  cells.  Floors  of  walks  and  cells 
are  granitoid  on  top  of  steel  floor 
plates. 


I  he  cells,  and  all  other  steel  and 
prison  work  in  connection  with  this 
institution,  were  furnished  and 
completed  by  us  in  1901,  and  all 
cells  are  equipped  with  our  Patent 
Sliding  Door  Snap  and  Dead-Lock 
Locking  Device,  operated  by  lever, 
by  guard,  from  Lever  Box,  at  end 
of  Cell  Block.  The  cells  are  in 
two  rows,  back  to  back,  with  a 
utility  corridor  between  same,  in 
which  all  piping  and  ventilating 
pipes  are  taken  care  of.
